Is there a web page that lists all the version numbers of the packages? We
need a dev system linked against David's latest AST library and I was
wondering whether that is in the system yet.

What's the reasoning for releasing the dev CD officially? Every previous
time a CD has been released it's been derived from the dev system (and
usually is newer than the dev system).
Is there a timescale for the next CD yet?
I've heard rumours of another programmer's meeting in the new year. Is
that at RAL? Will it be possible for some of it to happen over a videocon
to Hawaii so that Brad and I will be able to attend?
